HARE KRSNA!

DEAR GURUDEVA,

PAMHO, AGTSP!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT REGARDING THIS SITUATION.

I BELIEVE YOUR INSTRUCTION IS CONFIRMATION OF PARAMATMA WITHIN MY HEART.

IN THE MAIN TIME IT LOOKS I WILL START TO WORK WITH SCHOOLS AFTER

EASTER AND I WILL BE ENGAGED WITH THAT FULL-TIME, THEY ACEPTED MY VERSION OF "A DAY IN INDIA" ALSO.

I WILL FIND THE RIGTH TIME TO SPEAK TO MY BOOSS AND TELL HIM I WILL NOT DO THE WAITRESS PART (ALTHOUGH I FEEL HE MAY NEVER ASK ME ANYWAY, AS I HAVE PLENTY OF WORK IN RECEPTION AND ENTERTAINMENT, AND NOW WITH THE SCHOOLS).

HpS - Give your Boss a big vegetarian cake when you make the announcement and tell him it is a bribe.

I AM ALLREADY ENCOURAGING BHADRA TO STUDY AND BECOME A COUNSELLOR (MAYBE A PSYCHOLGIST IN THE FUTURE), HE IS  A VERY HONEST  AND EMPATHETIC PERSON AND PEOPLE NATURALLY TELLS HIM ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS AND PROBLEMS.

HpS - Awww!   He could also be a bartender! <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" /> (Juice Bar!)

JUST A FEW MORE DAYS TO MEET YOU!! WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORDWARD TO SERVE YOU

PERSONALLY!

ASPIRING TO SERVE YOU SANANDA DD

HpS - Yes, hope to see you tomorrow.  Ekadasi and Thursday, the MOST, MOST, M O S T dangerous day to travel!

Personal Sadhana and Mandir report of THOUBAL

8 years, 6 months ago by mukta singh in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja

 Gouranga Mahaprabhu, Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda, Ki Jay!

Dandavat Pranam! [The same from us. Manipuri, Bhakta-vrnda, Ki Jay!]

I have read Guruji’s Amrtavani, it is very inspiring but I have not seen the book “Waves of Devotion” I will try to collect it whenever I find. Again I will try to open the site www.vedabase.doc also.
HpS - [No, it is www.vedabase.com]

 

I am continuing my seva activities in the simple form without offering Ana (Bhook), only lights, scents, fruits or dry fruits, tulsi-patra, flowers. I offer prasadam daily before eating with my family. Always it is prepared by my wife from local vegitables in the bhava of Smt. Radharani prepared food for Sri Krsna.

HpS - What Deity you have on your altar. For whom your wife is cooking?

Mataji …. (Mala) leads our team and jointly performs sankirtana. Guruji Maharaja, nowadays I could not open DTC. So I want to know the exact date and place of Guruji’s programme in India. Let me know for information.

Next Sunday, our initiated group will arrange the prasadam of the Sunday and I will read out some slokas from Bhagavatam 8.21.25… (About Bali Maharaja and Vamana Avatara).

In my life time, once I want to take part sankirtan and darshan arati where A.C. Prabhupada started sankirtana and preaching in Amerika. All are depends upon Guruji’s ashirvat and Krsna’s mercy.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Now we are investigating the trip to India for Kartik through Hawaii and Australia. Still not sure of the exact dates.

Tell us more of your reading experiences. Do you have a study partner. That is very nice.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj

8 years, 6 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. [Lettuce feet].
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Hope you are good in health.

This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease! I hope we both 'die' soon.

    Materially bad time, while spritually good at my end. Just thought, you are waiting updates from my end.

HpS  -    Very nice to hear from you.    You can see that we have reached the Rural Castle in Spain.  Today Rama-navami.  Did the key to our room ever get back to the Temple?     If we are Krsna conscious then we can use the 'bad times', no??!

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

My second letter from Chile

8 years, 6 months ago by SoleOyarce in Personal Sadhana Reports
<pre data-fulltext="" data-placeholder="Traducción" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-text"> All glories to Srila Prabhupada My obeisances Maharaja When I read the letters that I write I think that I must learn a lot of English, so that I can write something more coherent than what the translator translates to sometimes means, it gives me a lot of laughter. HpS - Hare Krsna! Yet, the translator is a good friend if just keep an eye on what it is saying. I thank you for your loving response, it made me wonder what that marriage party would be like with Silk Saree from India, 20-elephants, horses, etcetera, but we are in austerity plans, therefore we will have to leave the horses and castles for another chance hahaha <img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" /> HpS - Something nice!!!! I hope Maharaja can share that day with us even for a moment, so that he may give us his mercy and always have Krishna in our center. HpS - Maybe we can connect by tele-conference! On the other hand, I want to tell you that I have been practicing tolerance and abstinence from criticism, I have done well, it feels more liberating and I can be a little more loving with those around me. This, by the way that an earlier letter told you that I felt a bit unmotivated, but! HpS - Critic can be very great service. It is better to have an intelligent person for an enemy than a fool for a friend. Canakhya Pandit and Socrates both agree. Even better, criticise people so they can wake up and become your leader again. Children run into their parents bed-room, "Wake up Mommy, Daddy! There is a fire in the house! Help us, we need your leadership!". Criticize like that! Commence to do service in the temple, Wreaths of flowers to their lords Sri Sri Gaura Nitay next to a very loving devotee, who is delicately teaching me this beautiful service every Tuesday after our works offered to Krsna. After our marriage I hope to take more services to please Srila Prabhupada. Finally Maharaja, I thank you for your time to read and respond to my letters, here I am trying to be devout, to please Srila Prabhupada, drawing the attention of Sri Sri Goura Nitay to receive some of his mercy and to advance in my spiritual life, hoping that Maharaja Dhanvantari gave me a little of his mercy accepting me as his disciple and you as my siksa guru. Again sorry for this English machine Maharaja, I hope you understand what I meant. My reverence </pre>

Hare Krsna<img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

P.D. : 

I send you photographs of our altar, and a very curious one of our cat called Goura sleeping always next to the painting of Nrsimhadeva

HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho.  They are starting loading now!  Delta 108 to Madrid.

Huancayo - Sankirtana

8 years, 6 months ago by Gadai in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias. Seguimos en Huancayo, le escribi tres cartas cuando usted estuvo en India, bueno al parecer no llegaron.

HPS - ASA -- Estuvimos notificando mucho que era casi imposible responder a cartas mientras viajando... Oooooof! (sino URGENTE), por que estamos en contacto con tan mucho discupulos, gente, mientras esta giras. Como Vd. cuando esta en la calle con la. gente.

Seguimos con nuestra rutina de Mangal Artik 5 am, lectura de el Srimad - Bhagavatam, canto 1, capitulo 16, siguiendo los cuatro principios y luchando con la pecaminosa mente, [la conosca!]

...16 rondas de Japa, estamos en el Templo Bhaktivedanta de Huancayo, dirigido por Prabhu Vyasa Deva, discipulo de Jayapataka Swami, perdimos comunicación con Prabhu Jagad Bandhu esperamos volver a comunicarnos con el Prabhu.

HPS - Jaya, Jagat-bandhu, eso es nombre para Senor Jagannatha!

Tenemos programas los días miercoles y sabados a las 7 pm.

Nuestro Sankirtana, distribuimos libros en el mes de enero y febrero, ahora con el restaurante, bueno por un tiempo.

Algunas cosas cambiaron, por parte mia,  pensando en más viajes más adelante. Queremos invitarlo a que venga a  Huancayo para esté año, con quien podriamos cordinar si asi fuera??

HpS - Estamos investigando eso. Lima, Arrequipa, Huancayo, Cusco, Chochabamba!  Quien ir con nostros?

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido

HpS - Vamos a Espanya en en una hora! Esperamos distribuir Luz de la Bhagavata, Teachings of Lord Chaitanya. Esperamos convertir unos a distribuiradores de libros tambien!

Hare Krsna!!!
